Cop Suspended In Gambling Probe

April 13, 1986

A high ranking Maywood police officer has been suspended for 30 days on administrative charges and faces possibile dismissal from the force as the outgrowth of an investigation into an alleged floating crap game that had been run by the Chicago crime syndicate in Maywood, the suburb`s police chief, Mac E. Woods, said Friday. Chief Woods said the officer, whom he declined to name, has refused to take a lie detector test in the investigation and was suspended by the Maywood Police and Fire Commission on Thursday. He will have a hearing in the suburb on April 19. On Monday, a Maywood sergeant was ``relieved of duty`` for 24 hours when he, too, refused to take a lie detector test in the investigation, said Chief Woods. The sergeant is now back on the job.
